Overview

The concept of food as medicine has gained significant attention in recent years, as scientific research reveals the role nutrition plays in preventing and managing chronic diseases. Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals, this approach emphasizes the healing potential of whole foods, dietary patterns, and specific nutrients to support overall health and well-being. From reducing inflammation and balancing blood sugar to improving gut health and enhancing immune function, the science behind food as medicine bridges traditional health solutions with modern, evidence-based practices. Further research may reveal how everyday dietary choices can become powerful tools for health promotion and disease prevention. Exploring the Science of Food as Medicine explores the role of nutrients, the power of anti-inflammatory foods, and the therapeutic potential of food. It critically examines popular ""superfoods"" and explores the use of food in managing chronic diseases. This book covers topics such as biomedicine, food choices, and chronic disease, and is a useful resource for medical and healthcare professionals, nutritionists, biologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
